Count sentences, analyze length distribution, and find your longest and shortest sentences.
The tool splits text at sentence-ending punctuation (periods, exclamation marks, question marks) and counts each segment that contains at least one word.
For general writing, aim for 15-20 words per sentence. Academic writing may run longer (20-25), while web content should be shorter (12-18). Vary your sentence length for better rhythm.
Sentence length affects readability. Short sentences are punchy and easy to read. Long sentences can convey complex ideas but risk losing the reader. A healthy mix creates engaging prose.
Common abbreviations like "Dr.", "Mr.", or "U.S." may cause extra sentence breaks. For best results, the tool works most accurately with standard prose text.
